What are your thoughts on tying corporate tax breaks with job creation and retention?

I've always felt that the tax breaks available for corporations don't really provide an incentive to hire, despite what the Republican party believes. Simply having them skip out on paying taxes doesn't make them altrustric to the point of reinvesting in here in the US. I always wondered, what if tax breaks were really and truly devised in such a way that the only way a corporation could take advantage of it was to invest in a local job force and/or community and not some jumbled, half-ass method that's in use now. The tax break would have to outweigh the cost of investing capital and creating jobs but I think it's doable.

I think that's an oustanding idea, and the only way to justify corporate tax breaks.

And retailers price everything at $x.99 so they can squeeze a profit out of sales tax.

...what? No. They price it at x.99 because it's a brilliant marketing strategy.
